If an AUX event overruns, the event core layer intends to disable the event by setting the 'pending_disable' flag. Unfortunately, the event is not actually disabled afterwards. In commit:ca6c21327c("perf: Fix missing SIGTRAPs") the 'pending_disable' flag was changed to a boolean. However, the AUX event code was not updated accordingly. The flag ends up holding a CPU number. If this number is zero, the flag is taken as false and the IRQ work is never triggered. Later, with commit:2b84def990("perf: Split __perf_pending_irq() out of perf_pending_irq()") a new IRQ work 'pending_disable_irq' was introduced to handle event disabling. The AUX event path was not updated to kick off the work queue. To fix this bug, when an AUX ring buffer overrun is detected, call perf_event_disable_inatomic() to initiate the pending disable flow. Also update the outdated comment for setting the flag, to reflect the boolean values (0 or 1).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
